Back in high school I lifted weights a few times per week with a friend of mine. One day a third friend named Jason joined us. But it would only be for a single session.
"I can't workout unless I'm motivated," Jason said. "I need to listen to the music from Rocky."
We both laughed at him for a bit. But then I figured: So what?
If he needed to hear a certain kind of music in order to workout, then why not just do that?
If it works, do it.
I work out a little after I wake up. Mostly I say others should do the same. But if you're more of a nightowl, make that work for you.
You might want to eat a little before working out. Or maybe you prefer an empty stomach - I know I usually do.
I also can't stand a cold gym. Others love it. I like to wear heavier clothes when I workout, some prefer as little as possible.
The key idea is to do what works for YOU. Figure out what kind of atmosphere, schedule, and clothing helps you stay in shape as easily as possible.
And of course listen to some Gonna Fly Now too. - 16004
